To NG + Gravelord Tour of Lordran SL 70 9-15-2012 Butterfly Forest Area

I did see the ToG video. I've also had my own black phantoms in ToG. They're ferocious!

That's right! You have fought them yourself. I think we should head straight for the TOG hehe at sl 70 hehe. But seriously, I am not sure, where we should meet, let's just get to NG+ first.

Where do you think we should meet?

I have a lvl 70 GL. I'm good for the TOG. Just set a date and time officially or unofficially and I'll try to make time.

I'm good for that too, I'll make sure to be there unless it's absolutely impossible.

How bout MoonPit? it's realy early in the game.
And the place we shoudn't miss is Anor Londo too
In those places are hard BP.

Sorry to see that the tour is over. Due to some recent events I have been taking a break from Darks and unfortunately I was the one doing most of the in-game recruiting before the event, which probably affected the amount of participants. Hopefully someone can step up and plan another tour in the near future.

Also great job to DxV for him spreading the word on all the forums and organizing the event in the first place.

Also for the next event I would recommend that you go to level 55 and invite the Darkstalkers as well. They can invade you as Wraiths or SoV since you are the same level. And Anor would most likely be the busiest place at that level. And with the added participants of the Darkstalkers covenant you would have a large draw for the event.

Let's get to NG+, then. Of the early game areas, i like the Parish, the Depths and the Forest/Moonpit, so any of those would be great. Maybe we should plan a Halloween event for mass Gravelording and if that's fun, we can go from there.

Cidek, I appreciated your recruiting efforts for the last meeting. How did that go? We need participants in the same amount we had in the Burg for me to keep going. Otherwise I just don't feel is worth the time investment.

If we can prove that most if not all of us get BPs then people might become interested. But we have to prove that.

After a while of not getting replies from 2 of the 3 sites I started feeling quite stupid to be frank. But I felt extreme disappointment from some people whom I expected to be truly interested in bringing Pure Black World Tendency. I am talking about people in this site that if they would have just taken a few hours every 2 weeks the tour would still be going.

I do appreciate and thank all that did take the time. I never considered the schedule to be demanding.

And thanks Raging for doing what I expected from some

Thanks again.

The advice makes sense with regards to the amount of players, but it would cease to be a Gravelord Tour. It would be just another day in Dark Souls, because again where are the Gravelords? 6 Gravelords vs how many Wraiths from the game and Darkstalkers.

It really is sad because it is so easy to join the Gravelord Covenant. Plus we supply anything participants need.

Who ever would like to participate should meet the main requirement and that is to be part of the Gravelord Covenant.

Dark Souls sorely needs Gravelords.

Well you all heard the lady! NG+

No date set, I am thinking we should go to NG+ See how many of us in a group get BPs then spread the word that we will Spread misery in the new areas.

Good or Bad idea?

Ok!

sounds like plan! I was planning to spread misery my entire time on new areas when DLC will come out.

And about Sen's Fort it was something like in Depths, few Gravelords, but more darkstalkers, unfortanetelly i didn't see any BP

my 2 cents would to be go to sl 80 in ng+ anor londo, get as many signs into the main hall.

I do not mind the idea but:

We were going to do Anor but there was not enough interests.
The reason to move to NG+ is to see if we can all experience BPs.

If we are going to run a test we are not going to go alllllll the way to anor in NG+ to test.

If our test is successful then WE have to convince people that if they join the GL Tour they will experience BPs. This I have found to be an extremely difficult task.

If out test is not successful what makes you think we will get a lot of people in Anor when we could not even get them in Sens?

I hate to be a party pooper but really, I have very little left in me to keep encouraging others to join the GL in order to bring PWBT.

I am only still with this because we want to do this test.

Sens is awkward at the best of times and can be a chore to get around in there. The reason anor londo would be better is that there are several open spaces, you can have have signs down where the first gargoyle is, then move to the base of the steps leading up to the two sentinels, then finally the main hall just before ornstein and smough. I also wouldnt mind contacting a few people on the xbox list and asking them if they're still interested if someone wants to do the same for ps3, and maybe start up a pc player list.

I like GL in Sens, it completely changes your style of play. But that is just a matter of preference.

I like Anor and I was looking at it the same what you are looking at it.

Correct me if I am wrong but you basically are suggesting we pick up where we left off by going to Anor. After we do the test right?

Ideally, every one should have been recruiting from the beginning and I am sure most of us were.

Ok so lets head for NG+ sl 70 and meet in the Parish for Testing. I will put a date to meet soon.

Oh one more question.....

What time shall we meet? Same time?

DxV04 wrote:Oh one more question.....

Do you have people's timezones? It'd make setting the time a lot easier, I'm UTC+0 for example.

Then it will be at the same time it was before.

1 pm Chicago Time (CST) --> Corresponding UTC (GMT) 18:00:00 on a Saturday.

Unfortunatelly, a meeting time was arranged for people in Asia/Australia but only WhiteChiks show up.

I showed up to the late night parish Gl sesh, had some great duels with Glatts and Ragingdragon and fed. I've got a perfect SL70 for this too, oh how nice it is to have builds at 55, 60, 70, 80, and 120 lol.

Yea I showed up for the midnight GL at the parish too but that was to support other players who showed up. However that was not made for our time zone. No reason to add it again for our test run.

The reason why I chose 1 pm was to allow EU players to participate at a decent time..

I should do the same Ghadis but I only have 120ish

Sorry could you confirm it's the parish this Saturday at 18:00 at lvl 70 on ng+?

Wao! no not yet! hehe We have to give people a week at least in advance. I have not even made it to NG+

Are you in NG+ already?

I've a lvl 60 guy I could get to ng+ in a few hours

So we are going to do it on Undead Parish?
I really don't mind, but I'm pretty sure we would get more ppl in MoonPit, and it's as early in the game as Parish- but due to a fact ppl didn't killing Moonlight butterfly, we will get a random ppl too wich will bring variety to a tour.

@DxV04
Did you thought of date yet?
We should do it before DLC came out, and then head straight to the new areas

My 2 cents ;P

Cidek we are only doing a test. This is not part of the tour. that is why I am not doing a lot of advertising.

Most people joined the tour because they wanted to see BPs. No one saw BPs except one person. That person happen to use a character that they had at sl 45 in NG+

Again this is not a tour stop or continuation of the tour. We are doing a test.

If we where doing a tour stop we would not be doing the parish. We would be doing forest hunter area or moonpit.

I think next saturday is good, I personally am working 10 to 12 every day that is why I am behind.

Great idea for tour with NG+ and Sl 70. Any known date?

For thoso who don't believe NG+ is crucial for Pure Black World Tendandcy see my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0QR-8b2p4

We are going to do a little test this saturday at the same time as before.
At the Parish Butterfly area. All the people interested will bring their gravelords to the Parish sl 70 in NG+.

Want to see how many of us get BPs and if it is a high amount we will continue the Tour.

I think you have solved the final puzzle of how the Gravelord curse works.
Apparently the BB glicth had the unintended effect of keeping the majority of the Dark Souls community in NG and thus the bad reputation of the GL covenant
